In addition to getting psyched for the new year, now is the inevitable time where I look back on the preceding year and either a) remember how much I loved certain albums or b) catch up on albums everyone else was talking about that I didn't find as much time as I would have liked to listen to. That sentence was kind of terrible, but the albums below definitely are not. A couple fall into the a) category, and a couple in the b). But I'll let the song from each do the talking. Enjoy!
